Trump, who has a large lead and is almost certainly the only candidate who can "win" the normal way, seems to be getting bad advice again. After being ahead in WI in past polls, he has trailed by 10+ points in all the recent ones, though he still may get a few delegates (up to 6), as it is partially based on congressional district vote.

The old media, and especially the conservative online media have all but written off Trump in WI and thereafter...as they have almost daily or weekly since he entered the race. Now, as I have mentioned before, with just 3 candidates left, his loyal 30% base is not enough to win, and he seems to be "off message," an irony considering his "message" all along has been as scattered as Obama's foreign policy...nonexistent for the most part, with random contradicting thoughts and sound bites thrown in.

In both cases, you could have highly skilled windtalkers trying to decipher it and admitting, "I got no idea."

The truth is, Trump has a lot of very friendly states coming up. Liberal and moderate Northeast and Norhwest states, where his combo platter of disillusioned Dems and blue collar GOP men would seemingly lead him to victory. He should simply right the ship, agree with what his campaign manager said this AM, "We never planned to compete in WI," and move on. Instead he is wasting several days crisscrossing the state, and the "momentum" Cruz has gained will be the focus, not Trump's huge lead and lead in the polls of the states voting soon.

Of course, nothing has went as expected for Trump, so maybe they are so used to ignoring common sense they are immune to it.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I believe in low taxes, small government, and am not afraid to be labeled patriotic. If you are interested in sausage race results, walk up music, or professional wrestling, you may wish to click elsewhere.
